Google Has It All Wrong

Submitted by Blake on March 12, 2006 - 2:59pm

Do a search in google For Library News or LISNews or something like that. Google describes LISNews as: "Bibliography of books, articles, and other resources on the natural history of Washington, DC Compiled by Ryan Shepard."

I thought Google used DMOZ for those, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I did a search in Google specifically for LISNews.org and it displayed the correct LISNews.org description from DMOZ.Within DMOZ I found an entry for the Ryan Shephard book that points to: http://www.lisnews.com/ryan/bibliography.htmlSo, I think the problem may be that 1) DMOZ still has LISNews.org, 2)Google is using LISNews.com and 3)there is a book description in DMOZ that is linked to an LISNews.com page.I am not sure how to fix it. I guess it depends in part on whether you plan to fully convert over to LISNews.com or go back to officially using .org. Maybe submitting an LISNews.com entry/update to DMOZ would do the trick.

Visit this Google category -- see the entry at the bottom of the page? That's where the desc came from, but it isn't currently listed in the dmoz.org category that corresponds to it (but it was there until January when someone noticed that the link, here, was invalid after the move to lisnews.org).
